    Olivewood Pipes

    Olive wood makes a perfectly good pipe. Ratray’s doesn’t. Poor to no customer service When one of their product fails.

    3 mm (rolled paper) filters from Amazon will fit most Peterson’s. They may need a bit of shortening, but they do work and are inexpensive.

    What White Lies Were You Told as a Child or Have You Told Your Children?

    Rattray's Pipe - Pleasant Surprise!

    I hope your luck with Ratray’s is better than mine. I had a bowl crack which is irreparable (according to 2 pros) and never heard back from them when I emailed for advice. Pipe was under 2 years old.
